[p2p-research] Fwd: "P2P-Urbanism World Atlas"

Wed Sep 1 08:29:36 CEST 2010

Dear Thomas,

I think it would be a mistake to do all things via a ff single map, as the
p2p world is to all-encompassing

but perhaps we can use the same system to do other maps on p2p activities,

one I was thinking of was to identify concrete communities to visit, i.e.
p2p 'places', like hacker labs, coworking hubs, and the like,
